18 MAR 2007 CHAPTER 1

INSPECTION CATEGORIES, PRINCIPLES, & GRADING SYSTEM

1. Command Inspection Program (CIP) a. The purpose of the CIP is to assess the overall effectiveness of the Commanding General’s Inspection Program (CGIP). b. The CIP by the Inspector General of the Marine Corps (IGMC) will be conducted, at a minimum, on a triennial basis. Efforts will be made to inspect on a biennial basis. These inspections will be short notice (approximately 48-72 hours prior notification). c. The CIP evaluation of the CGIP will concentrate on: (1) Thoroughness and effectiveness of the CGIP. (2) Review of reports maintained by the command, documenting past inspections conducted and corrective actions taken. (3) Observation of the CGIP inspection methodology if an inspection is being conducted concurrently with a scheduled IGMC CIP evaluation (IGMC reserves the right to view/validate the inspection results of any units within the command). (4) Review of the grading system being used. d. The CIP is not limited to the above. The IGMC will inspect any functional area deemed necessary, i.e., equal opportunity, training management, environmental programs, safety, etc., to better ascertain the status of the command. e. Request Mast petitions shall be heard if any petitions are submitted during an inspection. f. Items of special interest to the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) and/or high visibility programs will be assessed during a CIP evaluation.

g. Major subordinate command (MSC) commanders will address issues affecting their commands which cannot be resolved at their level. The IGMC will provide assistance to resolve issues with the appropriate agency. 2. Unit Inspection Program (UIP) a. The purpose of the UIP is to inspect those independent units/activities of the Marine Corps that are not in the operational or administrative chain of command of a major subordinate commander (MSC). The IGMC will ensure through an inspection that each unit is: (1) Complying with Marine Corps orders, policies, and procedures. (2) Accomplishing its assigned mission, tasks, and functions. b. These independent units/activities will be inspected biennially. Inspections will be unannounced. c. The inspection will concentrate on the core functional areas, i.e., personnel administration, substance abuse, equal opportunity, body composition, unit training management, medical and dental, safety, security, and special interest areas mandated by CMC and/or external agencies/directives. Additionally, the Inspector General (IG) team will evaluate the unit’s readiness. d. Request Mast shall be heard on behalf of the CMC during the UIP. 3. Inspection Principles. At a minimum, commanders and command inspectors general will consider the following when preparing for and conducting inspections: a. The fundamental purpose of an inspection is to assess, assist and enhance the ability of a unit to prepare for and to perform its assigned mission. The unit's mission shall be the focus of the inspection.

NAVMC DIR 5040.6H

18 MAR 2007 b. Inspections will identify root causes of problems, particularly those beyond the capability of the commander to solve. c. Inspections can be centralized or decentralized. Although the Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) IG team practices and encourages centralized inspections, the Commanding General’s Inspection Program can practice centralized or decentralized inspections depending on the command’s operational tempo and commanding general’s preference. d. Inspections will foster a climate of trust and confidence. e. Inspectors will respect and uphold the commander's authority. f. The number, frequency, and types of inspections will be held to a minimum. Various reviews and other inspections, such as a Marine Corps Administrative Analysis Team (MCAAT), may be integrated into the commander’s inspection program. However, these inspections are not a substitute for a command inspection. g. Duplication among inspections will be avoided to the maximum extent possible. h. Inspections will recognize excellence. i. Inspections will be positive, productive learning experiences for the Marines and Sailors. j. Inspections will result in a written report. k. The inspection process will include follow-up and resolution of problems beyond the ability of the inspected unit to solve. 4. Grading System. The following grades shall be assigned: a. Mission Capable. The command/unit possesses and uses the requisite skills, equipment, personnel, and understanding to accomplish its assigned mission, tasks, and functions.

CHAPTER 3

INSPECTION CHECKLISTS, GUIDELINES, REPORTS AND SCHEDULE

1. Inspection Checklists a. The Automated Inspection Reporting System (AIRS) contains the inspection checklists that are updated by the HQMC functional area sponsor and maintained by the IGMC. These checklists contain those areas, at a minimum, that should be inspected in any one functional area. Although not all encompassing, checklists are intended to provide commands with the basic guidelines necessary to perform day-to-day administration and operation. b. Inspectors from the IGMC and command inspectors general (CIG) shall use AIRS inspection checklists when conducting inspections. The information contained in the checklists shall be the minimum criteria used for inspecting the functional areas listed. Commanding generals may add items to an inspection checklist, based on applicable Marine Corps directives, if the additional items provide a more complete picture of the status of the inspected unit. c. A report of findings, discrepancies and recommended corrective actions will be provided to the commander of the inspected unit and will form the basis for any required corrective action and/or refinement to successful programs. Inspectors will address findings and discrepancies by providing appropriate comments and suggestions to correct shortcomings. Copies of inspection checklists used by CIG for the CGIP will not be forwarded to HQMC but will be maintained on file by the CIG. d. Current AIRS inspection checklists are available through the Marine Corps home page and IGMC web site. The following general instructions apply: (1) AIRS may be accessed and downloaded via the IGMC website. (2) Updates to the checklists will be incorporated by the respective functional area expert on an as needed basis into the web based AIRS checklist database.

18 MAR 2007 Note 1: Although Marine Support Battalion, Fort Meade falls under the UIP for IGMC oversight inspection purposes, that command will conduct a CIP for subordinate units. IGMC will conduct an assessment and evaluation of that CIP during the conduct of the biennial unit inspection of the battalion. 3. Command Guidelines for the Commanding General’s Inspection Program (CGIP) a. Commanders/commanding generals shall conduct biennial inspections of all subordinate units and personnel to promote economy, efficiency, effectiveness, and readiness. This authority may be delegated in cases where geographic distances make it unfeasible to conduct recurring, in-depth inspections. This does not relieve the commander/commanding general of the responsibility for their subordinate unit's overall readiness and adherence to all pertinent Marine Corps orders, directives, and policies. The following guidance applies: b. MARFORCOM/MARFORPAC may delegate the inspection responsibilities of units that do not have a CGIP to the appropriate MEF commanding general due to location constraints or insufficient resources. The MEF commanding general should concentrate his/her efforts on the MEF organic units but may inspect the MSC CGIPs if he/she so desires. However, the IGMC will continue to inspect the various MSC CGIPs even if the MEF CGIP has inspected them. c. The Commander, Marine Forces Reserve (MARFORRES) shall inspect the command element and all independent commands which do not fall under the CGIP of the 4th Marine Division (MARDIV), 4th Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW) and 4th Marine Logistics Group (MLG). Due to geographical constraints which preclude meeting a biennial schedule, the inspection cycle for 4th MARDIV, 4th MAW, and 4th MLG is triennial. d. Those MSCs or their subordinate units having administrative control over Marines assigned to independent duty shall include them in their CGIP. Some examples of these type situations are: (1) MARFORRES will ensure that Marines assigned duty at NROTC units under the administrative control of an Inspector- 3-3 Enclosure (1)

Instructor (I-I) Staff/Reserve Unit are inspected concurrent with the I-I Staff/Reserve Unit inspection. (2) Independent duty Marines assigned to the Law Education Program or other various programs in which the Marines have little supervision are exempted from participating in command inspections, phone watches, flag details, etc. This does not preclude these Marines from maintaining Marine Corps standards or participating in specific required events such as the semi-annual PFTs. e. The CGIP Program should detect fraud, waste, abuse, discrimination, sexual harassment, environmental noncompliance, and related improprieties. f. Each commander will maintain an oversight and follow-up system for monitoring and tracking command actions taken to correct problem areas reported in inspection reports. g. Commanders will ensure the CIG and all functional area inspectors are qualified and properly trained to conduct inspections. h. The CIG will be the focal point for all inspections within the command to include monitoring corrective actions taken for findings noted during inspections. i. Programs will include, as a minimum, the following core inspection functional areas: (1) Special Interest Items. These are issues, matters, or concerns, which are currently identified as a Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Navy, or CMC special interest item. The IGMC will provide specific guidance as to current items. (2) Personnel Administration. Those matters pertaining to personnel management, the morale and welfare of individual Marines and Sailors and their families, and those administrative functions critical to the execution of a unit's primary mission to include, but not limited to: general administration, personnel administration, Marine Corps Total Force System, legal administration, career planning, etc.

18 MAR 2007 (3) Logistics. Those logistical matters critical to the execution of the unit's primary mission to include but not limited to: supply, maintenance, maintenance management, status of resources and training system readiness, embarkation, ordnance, and transportation. (4) Personnel. Those areas that are troop-oriented to include but not limited to: color guard, physical fitness, and the Body Composition Program. (5) Training. Those areas critical to the development and conduct of required training to include but not limited to: Unit Training Management, Battle Skills Training/Essential Subjects, Marine Corps Institute, equal opportunity, substance abuse, CBRN, and Professional Military Education. (6) Medical and Dental. Those matters related to the health readiness of Marines and Sailors. (7) Safety. Those matters that identify hazards and conditions which might expose personnel unnecessarily to injury or health hazards to include but not limited to: aviation safety, ground safety, motor vehicle safety, and industrial hygiene. (8) Security. Those matters related to security of classified material, physical security, antiterrorism/force protection, and law enforcement. (9) Environmental Compliance. Those environmental matters critical to preserving natural and cultural resources entrusted to the Marine Corps. This is accomplished through a command environmental program. (10) Intelligence Oversight. Those matters which pertain to intelligence, counterintelligence and intelligence oversight of intelligence activities affecting U.S. Persons. (11) General. Those functional areas required by external sources, mandates, and Marine Corps directives or higher headquarters issued directives requiring inspections. These functional areas include civilian personnel administration, postal affairs, childcare centers, absentee

18 MAR 2007 voting program, and correctional facilities. When applicable, each commander will ensure these functional areas are inspected using current directives and policies. MSCs shall ensure that all base functions under their cognizance are included in the inspection program. 4. Inspection Report a. The primary purpose of the inspection report is to present the unit commander with information necessary to initiate required actions within the command to correct deficiencies noted, refine existing programs, and aid in the overall accomplishment of the unit's mission. An equally important purpose is to provide commands at all echelons with a means by which their opinions, comments, and recommendations regarding performance, policy, and procedures can be viewed. b. The CIG, using the format in appendix A to this enclosure, is responsible for preparing the unit inspection report. Modifications to the format are authorized in order to meet local requirements or to improve the reporting process. The report should be submitted by the command to the commander of the inspected unit within 30 days of the completion of the inspection. Unit Inspection Reports are exempt from reports control under SECNAV M-5214.1 and do not require a Report Control Symbol. c. Each CIG must ensure that conclusions reached are factual and are developed from the inspection checklists. Recommendations contained in the report must be supported by references/documentation. Causative factors and the impact of the problems noted should be identified and supported by the findings and discrepancies noted. d. The report should provide a comprehensive appraisal. However, it should be noted that the report is not a summarization of the checklists and under no circumstances will the report contain findings not contained in the completed checklists and discussed during the unit debrief. e. Inspection reporting and follow-up will be limited to the significant items affecting unit performance and readiness. In particular, a written response is required from the unit inspected for "non-mission capable" functional areas and

18 MAR 2007 findings issued. In general, discrepancies issued are normally easily corrected and no written response should be necessary. f. Per reference (b), inspection reports will be retained on file with the CIG and the inspected unit for at least 6 years. 6. Inspection Schedule. MSC inspections will be short/no notice inspections similar to that of the IGMC in order to minimize unproductive preparation time and to give commanders an accurate assessment of day-to-day readiness. Therefore, inspection schedules should not be published within the command.

CHAPTER 4

GUIDELINES FOR THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF THE MARINE CORPS READINESS ASSESSMENT PROGRAM

1. Purpose. The purpose of the Readiness Assessment Team (RAT) process is to identify, analyze, and report on systemic Marine Corps issues and concerns that may degrade Marine Corps readiness. It provides commanders information necessary to prioritize readiness degraders according to their greatest impact on readiness, validate the unit’s capability to perform the mission requirements for which it was designed and to identify those issues of concern, which if corrected, would enhance Marine Corps operational readiness. 2. Readiness Assessment Team (RAT) Organization. The IGMC's instrument for readiness assessments of Marine forces is the RAT. The RAT is comprised of the members of the IGMC, Readiness Division IGMC (IGR), augmented with functional area experts provided by HQMC, MCCDC, LOGCOM or other appropriate agencies. The team is task organized to assess the specific issue or unit visited. The RAT is not intended to duplicate any inspections or analyses conducted by other agencies. The RAT assesses readiness using the most current quantitative and qualitative information available. The principal areas of focus as they apply to particular units are training, personnel and equipment readiness. 3. RAT Visit Methodology. The assessment methodology is both quantitative and qualitative. RAT members utilize validated standards to check for departures from standard operational practices and programs, technical publications and procedures and other significant guidance which degrade the readiness posture and efficient and effective management of a specific functional area. They will validate the reported status of the Marine Corps Automated Readiness Evaluation System, Maintenance and Material Management System, Automated Training and Readiness Information Management System, Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS) and other reports and information held at HQMC against actual status or conditions existing within the organization being assessed. Through observation and discussion with unit personnel, the RAT will assess the general skill and

Page 20: Marine Corps Base Quantico - Home - NAVMC DIR 5040.6H IGI ... General/NAV… · Encl: (1) Marine Corps Readiness Inspections and Assessments Manual Report Required: Unit Inspection

NAVMC DIR 5040.6H

18 MAR 2007 knowledge level and training effectiveness of the organization visited, gauge preparedness to deploy and employ rapidly and ascertain the impact of policies, guidance, and directives on readiness. If, in the RAT leader’s judgment, the condition of a functional area is such that continuing the evaluation is not a productive effort, the RAT leader will discontinue the assessment process and focus on providing whatever assistance possible to the unit. 4. Conduct of RAT Visit a. The visit is conducted on a "not to interfere" basis. No deviation from the plan of the day is requested or expected. If a functional area cannot be evaluated due to non-availability of personnel, an appropriate substitute unit will be visited. b. The team leader will provide a brief on the RAT process to the unit commanding officer and appropriate staff. To encourage frankness, the team leader emphasizes the following aspects of the process: this is not an inspection; there is no grade; there is no unit report; and the unit is never identified to higher headquarters. This is the unit's opportunity to work with HQMC policy makers and the subject matter expert's opportunity to provide the benefit of their expertise to the Marines in the trenches. 5. Assessment Reports. Upon return to HQMC, team members will submit proposed issues and recommended solutions to the IGMC (IGR). The IGMC (IGR) publishes and submits a final report to CMC and ACMC through the DMCS. Results of each assessment will be posted on an IGMC web site to enable commanders of like units to be aware of issues and trends, and raise the collective awareness. The IGMC (IGR) will monitor all issues until action is complete.
